The opening events will take place on Thursday, February 14, beginning with a panel discussion at 4:00 p.m. in Randall Hall, room 117. The talk will be immediately followed by a reception in the gallery from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.

During the panel discussion four of the artists, Amanda Bury, Seth Charles, Iva Haas, and Amanda Salov, will share their personal experiences with artist residencies. A residency is an opportunity, sponsored by a host organization, for artists to work in a different environment where they are free to explore new ideas and focus on developing their work. The panel will be moderated by Ben Carter who, in addition to his studio work, is the creator and host of Tales of a Red Clay Rambler podcast, where he interviews artists about their craft, creativity, and lifestyle.
